Before Sola scriptura there were at best 6 'paths' right or wrong.

Post sola-scriptura there are 20000+.

The facts are: sola scriptura results easily in massive misinterpretation of scripture.

But the greater fact remains there is one truth and it's our job to search the Scriptures and find it, by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

And further, the truth is just not that difficult to grasp. Because of Adam's fall, all men sin and none are righteous. God, through His infinite mercy, chose to save some men by paying the penalty for those sins Himself and thus sent His Son to carry those transgressions to the cross. And to prove that it was God who accomplished this unmerited grace, Christ rose bodily from the tomb.

If we believe our sins have been forgiven by His grace through faith in Jesus Christ, then we may stand confidently before Him, acquitted of our sins and loved by God, who decreed all history from before the foundation of the world, according to His good pleasure alone for His glory alone.

From my perspective, I think 1600 years of rubber Bible political wind changes within the Roman system evidenced

quite MASSIVE MISINTERPRETATION of Scripture--far more than a lot of Protestants would be very comfortable with!

LOL.
